I'm looking to purchase a sequencer in the near future and I've started to narrow it down to the Electribe Emx-1. Would it be worth it to go ahead and invest in an Electribe with an SD reader built in? Can I load new sounds from an SD on to the Electribe? What are the main benefits of the SD?

BTW since the EMX is not a sampler, there's less of a need for memory cards in the first place. Still if price is the same, the EMX1-SD is the one to get.

The xD adapters do work but xD cards are also obsolete. The adapter sticks out from the card slot quite a bit, easy to get broken off You cannot use xD cards larger than 128MB (max size for SmartMedia).

I listened to Hatfield and the North at Rainbow. They were very wonderful and they made my heart a prisoner.

In my case, I have XD cards smaller than 128 MB laying around... but i sold my EMX-1.

Me, too. Owned both an Olympus digital camera and a synth that used Smart Media cards so the $10 adapter made sense. Now I own neither the camera or the synth but still have the adapter and xD cards...more useless junk in the march towards endless obsolete technology of the future
